About Papoe

Hi...I am named Papoe (read: pa-poo) because my origin is from Papua New guinea :) I am a Pink belly short Necked Turtle. Mommy adopted me on March 11, 2012. I am struggling with my body size...maybe I am a midget

Cool! By the way I’m getting my turtle in two weeks cuz I’m going on vacation so after that! I’m so excited and I think your pages are going to help! (My brother even thinks that turtles are so cool now he is going to get one too!)

Thank you Mollie’s Mom🙂
My Name is Earl, I should look for it and watch it too🙂
You know, even I who already have 3 turtles still got excited when I saw movie/tvshow where the character has turtle pet.

Hi Christine🙂
I think so too. The first time I brought him home, he would hide all his arms and legs inside. He slept exactly like the other two turles in the post…he has been mine for a year now and he is still shy but a bit open than before.

Yes!! I think that too.🙂
I think this is Papoe’s way of showing you how much he trusts you that he would sleep so vulnerable like that. He knows nothing will hurt him so he doesn’t feel the need to “button up”.

Button up is a good word🙂
I think so too. He is still very shy but he slowly shows me that he trusts me. He sleeps like that, he stands up on my hand, he even walks toward me although when I try to touch him he quickly button up again…It’ll take a lot of patience with him but I enjoy seeing his changes little by little.
